Parking Lot Updates
During our construction, as well as in years past, we have been given permission by The Orchard Church (across from Olive) to use their parking lot. We are utilizing it more this year, since our lot is not available for teacher parking as well as guest parking during the day. Since we are guests, we ask that everyone conduct themselves in a way that reflects the respectful and kind school that we are. Please make sure that you are using only marked parking spaces and that you are driving safely. If the front lot is full there is an additional lot on the east side of the church that can be used as well. Thank you for your cooperation!

It was a close race amongst the classes but the top classes were Mrs. Netzel's 2nd graders (2-4) and Mrs. Helmann's 4th graders (4-1). These classes will get to choose a prize to recognize their success. Thanks again, and keep clipping and saving in anticipation of our next challenge in February. Any questions....please contact Gina Groberski.Also a great big THANK YOU the volunteers that helped clip, count, and sort all of the box tops that we received! Your help is greatly appreciated!
